Chapter 258 - Recruitment

Jiu Shen smirked as he looked at the bright faces of everyone around him. He had already expected this kind of reaction from everyone. After all, a pill that could extend one’s lifespan was also rare even in the Primordial God Realm.

Jiu Shen gently waved his hand, distributing the pills to everyone.

Can Ye stared at his master with twinkling eyes as he whispered. "Master, how about us? Hehe."

He did not expect this gift-giving scene, and he was even more surprised about the fact that his master casually giving away more than several hundreds of such precious pills!

Jiu Shen ignored Can Ye and focused his attention on the guests around him.

Everyone had excited smiles on their faces as they gripped the small pill bottle in their hands as if it was a sacred object. Their reverence towards Jiu Shen also increased exponentially after receiving his gift. Perhaps only Jiu Shen could give them something so precious without even batting an eyelid...

"Everyone, you don’t have to hold back in front of me. You can consume the pill now and you don’t have to worry about your safety as well. I guarantee that no one will harm you here in my territory." Jiu Shen spoke the last sentence calmly, but all the people felt the threat hidden within those words.

"Hahaha! Thank you for your generous gift, Sect Master Jiu Shen." Emperor Elyk nodded his head at Jiu Shen with a smile before he opened the bottle in his hands. Without hesitation, he popped the pill in his mouth and closed his eyes as he savored the changes happening inside his body.

Nobody could see what was happening inside the emperor’s body, but they could sense that his aura was becoming even sturdier.

After seeing the pill’s effects, no one hesitated anymore. They hastily gulped down the pill in their hands, afraid that someone would snatch it away from them.

There were also a few people who secretly hid their pills. These people looked so young and it was obvious that they wanted to give their share to the older generation in their families.

The emperor opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of happiness. He then glanced at his old man and saw the surprised look on the latter’s face. He chuckled and said. "Old man, stop looking silly."

The old man glared at the emperor and smacked the back of his son’s head.

Jiu Shen moved his gaze around and when he saw that everyone’s attention was on him, he smiled and slowly said. "Everyone here with me will be witnesses of the opening of the Heavenly Sword Tower..."

Heavenly Sword Tower...

Everyone muttered the name in their hearts. They knew that this sect would be known by everyone in the Profound Dragon Continent and maybe even the demons in the Crimson Fiend Continent would someday fear it...

Everybody clapped their hands and cheered after Jiu Shen’s announcement. It wasn’t a long drawn-out speech, but just a simple announcement of the opening of his sect. However, everybody present at the scene felt the confidence in Jiu Shen’s voice. It was as if he was telling them that no one could stop him and his sect...

"My Heavenly Sword Tower will also hold its first entrance examination tomorrow. Everyone is free to apply regardless of their status. Whether you are a noble or a slave, as long as you have the talent to become a sword cultivator, you are free to come here." Jiu Shen said while glancing at the young cultivators present.

"Tomorrow? In that case, I will sleep here so that I will be the first one to apply! Hahaha!"

"Good idea! I will join you, brother!"

All the young cultivators excitedly discussed among themselves after hearing that Jiu Shen’s sect will have its first recruitment tomorrow. Everyone was aware that following Jiu Shen was a guaranteed success in life, so they were eager to try it out.

Emperor Elyk thought about the fourth prince and the fifth princess upon hearing about the recruitment. At first, he was confident that his two children would be able to pass any kind of tests, but considering Jiu Shen’s unpredictable personality, his confidence about tomorrow’s recruitment was slowly crumbling.

’I just hope those two will pass...’ Emperor Elyk prayed in his heart.

Defender Duanmu saw the look of worry on the emperor’s face and although it was almost unnoticeable, he was able to immediately detect it. He had been friends with the emperor for many years and he could already read his expression with just a simple look.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Sect Master Jiu gave Young Master Liu Mengdi of the Liu Family a special opportunity to become the first disciple of his Heavenly Sword Tower." Defender Duanmu whispered to the emperor.

The emperor’s eyes lit up. He understood what the old guardian was trying to tell him. "Sylvia and Dante’s talent is on par or even greater than Liu Mengdi’s, so it should not be a problem for them to get accepted. Just that, how did that kid Liu Mengdi manage to get Sect Master Jiu’s attention?"

Emperor Elyk was a bit curious about what Jiu Shen saw on Liu Mengdi. If it was just about talent, then he was confident that Sylvia and Dante had better talent than Liu Mengdi.

"Just what could it be..." He muttered silently while looking at Jiu Shen with a trace of wonder.

"I think Sect Master Jiu favored Liu Mengdi because of his character, experience, and maybe his talent is also much better than Sylvia and Dante without us knowing it. Son, that guy can see better than us. He should have his reasons when he did that." Emperor Elyk unconsciously nodded his head in agreement when he heard his father’s words.

"You might be right, old man. Sect Master Jiu, just what kind of person are you..." Emperor Elyk sighed softly in his heart. He was always confident about his ability to read people, but up until now, he could still not fathom the man he was looking at...
